Do you want to add a new member to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Perhaps it’s the right time to adopt a pet! Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, shelters in and around Ramona have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting to be adopted.
Across California, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home — and many of them are located within driving distance. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for a lovable new companion is at Frosted Faces Foundation, where Bo the dog is waiting patiently, or another local adoption center. If you aren’t sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed in permanent homes.
Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a dog person, you might like Bounce, a Poodle up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
